dyndolod vs texgen resolution

[Soulmancer]

Is it best that the two match resolutions? or is it better if dyndolod is double texgen?

 

When I start Texgen the default is set to 256 while dyndolod default is set to 512... TBH I don't really understand the difference of the two?

 

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

TexGen generates object LOD textures - as explained at the top under the big TexGen logo. The size drop down sets their size. The text under the drop down says:

 

The default texture size is 256. To use less VRAM set it to 128. Also adjust max tile size in the advanced options of DynDOLOD.

 

From DynDOLOD_TexGen.html
 
Adjust texture size if desired. When DynDOLOD.exe creates the LOD texture atlas, the max tile size should be adjusted to at least match the LOD texture size in the advanced options of DynDOLOD.

 

DynDOLOD generates an object LOD atlas with object LOD textures, billboard textures and full textures. The max tile size enforces that textures with a higher resolution are shrunk. Billboards are allowed double the set size.
